sshguard doesnt block attempts. logs attached.

[beakie]

I have installed sshguard but can't get it to block after lots of failed ssh password tries.

Below is (some?) of my setup.

/etc/iptables/iptables.rules

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# Generated by iptables-save v1.4.18 on Thu Jan 1 01:43:45 1970
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [104:8060]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [77:7148]
:sshguard - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j sshguard
COMMIT
# Completed on Thu Jan 1 01:43:45 1970
')


/etc/iptables/ip6tables.rules

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# Generated by ip6tables-save v1.4.18 on Thu Jan 1 01:45:30 1970
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:sshguard - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j sshguard
COMMIT
# Completed on Thu Jan 1 01:45:30 1970
')


systemctl status sshguard.service

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

/etc/conf.d/sshguard

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

#
# Arguments to be passed to sshguard
#
SSHGUARD_ARGS=""

')

blacklist.db has something encrypted in it

/var/log/auth.log has logs in it

Can anyone please assist me with getting this to work?

Thank you


Edit:

I forgot to post /etc/ssh/sshd_config
